Daniel
Swarovski was born in 1862 in the Iser region of Bohemia in a small town
called Georgenthal This was the centre of Bohemia’s flourishing
crystal and costume jewellery industry. Swarovski trained as a crystal-cutter,
apprenticed to his father and to other local craftsmen, but before long
he showed himself to be a true inventor, a pioneering innovator with a
love of ideas, experimentation and machines, and a fascination with crystal,
the material he worked, and its ability to catch and reflect light. During
his visit, in 1883, at the age of 21 to the First Electric Exhibition,
in Vienna, he had an idea that was to change his life and the history
of fashion jewellery. Fascinated by electricity, by the innovations presented
at the Exhibition by names like Siemens and Edison, and determined to
unleash the full potential of crystal, the material that he knew so well,
Daniel Swarovski I set out to invent the first mechanical method for cutting
and polishing crystal jewellery stones. Returningto Bohemia, he worked
ceaselessly to develop his idea, and finally, nine years later, in 1892,
he was ready to register a patent for a machine, which made it possible,
for the first time, to cut crystal jewellery stones to perfection. This
perfection continues today with the beautiful creations still being produced
by Swarovski. Still under development we will shortly be able to present
to you all the Swarovski jewellery, Accessories, Figurines & Collectibles
currently available.
